Visit me here in Portland and I'll make it happen. Although I think Amy and Jeremy still have it on the Tonga Hut menu, so you could have Marie make a good one for you also (probably not complimentary, though) if you go down to LA. All the art on this thread is looking better and better! Tomorrow I take my pieces in for the glaze fire line-up. Each of them is glazed in a "winter blue" that is rubbed away in places and then glazed in a super shiny clear coat. The Tangaroa head and the upper portion of the Mermaid are glazed in a "Mahogany" that I wiped away and have decided to leave matte. The Mermaid's tail and the Seahorse are glazed in a greenish blue which I've played around with before, also left matte. I used some of the Mahogany to outline the seahorse a bit with his stripes and eyes, but it may burn off in the firing as I've never layered it over the blue/green before. We'll see. Interior is clear coated on each one. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for me.
